Abstract
In this study, higher levels of C-reactive protein were evident at follow-u p in patients, with than without in-stent restenosis, suggesting that infla mmatory processes play an important role in the occurrence of in-stent rest enosis. Full comprehension of the cause of this inflammatory process would be helpful to decrease in-stent restenosis.
